The complex is made of three fires: The Windy Pass fire is 1,417 acres; the Papoose fire is 36,510 acres; and the West Fork fire is 56,549 acres.

On Tuesday firefighters on the Papoose fire “will continue mopping up around structures and start confining the northern part of the fire,” a release from the fire team said. It noted that falling trees in some areas were creating a hazard.

Firefighters on the Windy Pass fire and the western park of the West Fork fire are moving helicopters and other resources to other areas. Structure protection is still in place for the Wolf Creek Ski Area, Borns Lake Cabins, and Bruce Spruce Resort.

The weather report for Tuesday predicts isolated thunderstorms with little or no precipitation. Fire intensity is expected to increase in the next few days, especially in areas of lightning and gusty winds due to the storms.

Colorado 149 and 160 are open, but drivers are asked to be aware of fire crews using the roads. The fire teams asks drivers not to stop to take pictures as this could impede firefighters.
